chief
I'm view of their recent utterances, how do
you think Mr.. Blaine and Mr.. Cleveland will
relatively stand with the mugwumps!
1.-THE mugwumps generally free traders;
so Mr.. Cleveland's free trade message will ex-
actly correspond with their views: | think that
the free trade question viii undoubtedly be
clearly and squarely the issue at the next pres
idential election, and think. too. that the cit
liens of this country will not vote against their
own interests They will not open our markets
to unlimited foreign competition"
Il suppose you have seen in this morning
Tribune that the Presidents message has beer
hailed In Britain with halleluiahsl'
Yes. Ii those people on the other side could
vote here Mr. Cleveland would be elected as of
ten as he wanted to on platform such as he in
Dictated. Fortunately for us they can't vote
but they can talk a great deal"
"What, in your opinion, would be the effect on
free trade on this countryF
This country is in more prosperous condi-
ton to-day than it ever was before. do not
mean by that that larger profits are being mad.
contrary. the margins of profit are extremely
small. but / mean that the volume of trade
is larger and that the people of this coun-
try, both skilled and unskilled, are more largely
employed than ever before so that there is no
necessity at this time for any man being idle.
l believe that prosperity to be the result of the
momentum of Republican industrial legislation.
The effect of Mr. Cleveland's plan would brine
ruin upon the country"
What effect would it have the farming
class2"
The farming class would be equally affected
with the man ufacturlng- perhaps not so quickly,
but in the end they would all go down alike
Therefore Mr. Jones, we want Republicans
government. Are we likely to get itl"
There will probably be Republican Presi.
dent elected next year, and if James G. Blaine
wants it, think he will De the man."

after one-half OF more of the revenue neces-
sary to administer the government has been
raised from direct tax upon our own people.
In 1884 the Democracy denounced the inter-
nal revenue as an odious war tax, and GEN.
sured the Republican party because it had not
repealed it; now the Democracy, by the mouth
of their President, declare that the direct tax
shall be made permanent, and the tariff shall
be red oced below the revenue point, duties
upon imports being levied only for the pur-
pose of raising the deficiency in the necessary
revenue to carry on the government. In 1880
the cry of the Democracy was, "tariff for
revenue only" American industry to get the
incidental protection that might accrue from
such tariff; the cry in 1888 is to be ''tariff
for the deficiency only" and American in
dustry must be content with the measure of
incidental protection that can be struggled
into a tariff on that basis.

THE Washington Post, which is an admin
istration organ Of semi-official character. is
engaged in making war upon Mr.. Randall
The Atlanta Constitution, which favors Mr.
Randall, calls the attention of the Post and
other free trade organs to the advisability of
fighting Republicans rather than members of
its own party. The Constitution realizes the
danger of party disintegration from factional
fights, and that the only safety lies in the ap-
pearance if not the existence, of harmony. It
looks, however, to non-partisan observers as
though the breach between the factions was
already too wide to be healed.

THE managers of concert in Chicago in
aid of the families of the Anarchists who
were hung for murder issued festival pro-
gramme containing several pages Of advertise
ments. These advertisements, of course,
were paid for and printed with the expecta-
ton of attracting customers. In other words,
the managers solicited advertisements for
publication to be circulated exclusively among
Anarchist sympathizers, thereby implying that
they had money to spend. The Inter Ocean,
commenting on the absurdity of this, says:
Give watch-makers and jewelers. solicit
the trade of these oppressed, poverty stricken
toilers. -Four dealers in toys and Christmas
presents are anxious for their custom. One
photographer and one vender of artistic
painting seek the trade of these starving
poor Six merchant tailors' wish to gain
the patronage of these 'capital-ridden wage
earners, for whom ready made clothing is
not stylish costly enough"
The conclusion is obvious that the mana
gers who took these advertisements either did
so under false pretenses, knowing that the
clown trodden workingmen" had money
to spend, or else they know their representa-
lions as to the condition of the workingmen
are false.

The queerest strike record is that of the
Boston female compositors who refused to set
the type for an antipopery book written by
Rev. Justin d. Fulton after they had read a
part of the manuscript and found it immoral
and indecent As general thing the views of
compositors upon the character of the matter
they set up not regarded as of special inn
portance; but in this case the publishers, after
examination, decided that the women were
right, and declined to go with the work.
Women not allowed to purify politics" but
there seems to be nothing in the way of their
making literature more respectable.

THE REPUBLICAN OUTLOOK.

Blaine and the Nomination.

Interview New York Tribune.
With the coming convention of Republican
clubs and its objects Mr.. Jones expressed him
self in hearty sympathy and commended the
party. With reference to the meeting of the
national committee at Washington and the ar
rangements for the national convention next
year. he said that he had been gratified by the
harmony which characterized the proceedings.
DO you think that Chicago is the best place
that could have been chosen for holding the
vention2' asked the reporter.
Il favored Philadelphia" he replied. ''but
Chicago is more centrally located; and it pos
sesses all the accommodations necessary for the
gathering. 1t is easy of access and on the whole
l think good choice has been made"
rs it still looking too far ahead to ask whether
Mr.. Blaine will be the presidential candidate
chosen by the conventionl"
mir. Blaine has not sought and is not seeking
the nomination do not know whether. ne
would accept the nomination not. | believe
that he get it if he desires it, and get it al
most if not entirely unanimously. have no
doubt that Mr.. Blaine is the choice of the great
majority OF the Republican party. His name is
in everybody's mouth especially since the inter
view which the Tribune published He has al
ways been the most popular in the party,
but this interview has, as it were, aroused all
the feeling of popular enthusiasm which has
been lying dormant since the last campaign"
Naturally. the interview was a good deal
talked about by the represen tatives who were
at the Republican national committee meetingl"
Yes. They all struck with admiration
at MIR. Blaines response to the Presidents mes
sage. Mr.. Blaine took up the views he present
ed in his usual spirited way. He seems to have
more comprehensive notion of the situation
than any man in this country, and he expressed
the views of the party, and have no doubt, of
the great mass of the American people"
do you think that Mr.. Blaines free express
sion of opinion seemed to indicate that he
speaking the probable Republican nominee
for President"
''Some people so thought and have called it

of Mr. Blaines Wishes and intentions and SO
FORTH but Mr.. Blaine's interview was simply
spontaneous reply to the President. He is
man of quick perceptions and made q timely
and telling answer to the message. L think
that whether he had been candidate or not. or
whether he ever expected to be candidate he
would have made that reply. He is just the
kind of a to do that -

any of the points he touched uponFi

THE Missouri delegation is now solid for
the Presidents free-trade ideas. Some of the
members kicked pretty vigorously, but the
party lash whipped them in. With the ex-

Democrats on that question, we believe the
great majority of the party will be disciplined

doctrines of the Presidents message.
